Amusingly enough there will be oversized EV SUV's. Up to ridiculous ones like the upcoming Hummer EV, yes you read that right. A Hummer. As EV.

It has 200kWh battery so that should give even more juice to power a house.

I wouldn't be surprised if some would buy ridiculously oversized EVs just to alleviate that fear.
You might have missed the production of EVs that causes more CO2 than that of diesel cars.
Not specific to schools, but Japan is still racist to anyone who is not Japanese, very intolerant to plus-size people, and intolerant to anyone with a differing opinion - those who don't participate in the general groupthink, which is very much far to the right.

There would have to be a cleaning service after every (n?) ride and ideally some form of (expensive) insurance. Unless there is some high level of surveillance of the driver with a rating system which in itself is a huge drawback.

I agree this whole thing (ie a large percentage giving up ownership) is way more complicated than it sounds.
To me, it's not about the actual changes to the privacy policy. This was an opportunity to educate people about the existing risks of a very large advertising company having access to your contact list, and what alternatives were available. Most people didn't even know that Signal is open source and being developed by a non-profit until the WhatsApp concern popped up.
They don't read terms because they are painful to read. If they just showed some small pointers highlighting the terms instead of long legal jargon, people will start reading them.
> MCAS did not exist because the 737 Max was unsafe, just different.

You're saying the plane is "safe, just different" without MCAS? But Wikipedia says:

"The MCAS flight control law was implemented on the 737 MAX to mitigate the aircraft's tendency to pitch up [...]"

I'm a layman but it sure doesn't sound like safe or normal behavior for a passenger airplane to be fundamentally designed so that it "tends to pitch up"... is it? Are there other airliners that do such a thing?
More likely you are incorrectly supposing that when I refer to social distancing I mean lockdowns.
Weird, one would think they'd try to productize and scale as much as possible, but if there are just single-digit amount of buyers, maybe not?
> Ryanair has a significantly better safety record than all of the "safest" airlines on that list

Qantas has not had a fatality since 1951 (Ryanair was founded in 1984); so that cannot possibly be true.
Good luck getting the airline industry going after the pandemic with a liability like the 737 Max in their fleets.
That's not how it works.

First: US make a lot of promises to a lot of countries. If they are not willing to go to war over Taiwan, that makes most of those promises (like NATO pact) basically worthless. So US has to defend Taiwan.

Second: Military confrontation between US and Chinese forces does not mean WWIII - they won't start shooting nukes, it will be more conventional war. We had such examples during previous Cold War: Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan.

Regulators work for us, and should be answerable to the people through their democratically elected representatives. Their job shouldn't be to protect and expand the control the state wields. It should be exclusively to further the public interest, whether that is through expanding state power, or relinquishing it to make way for new non-governmental mechanisms of socio-economic coordination.

I understand your point from a practical perspective, but I think it's important to point out how far the situation of needing to worry about how regulators will react to decentralization technology is from the ideals of democracy.

I don't agree. I was born in 1979, my dad was born in 1944, and my son in 2009.

If you look at all of our youths, the biggest difference is between my dad and me, not between me and my son.

My dad grew up without TV, 1 person in the street had a radio. Later cars arrived.

When you look at my youth, we had computers, but internet arrived when I was 18.

My son watches TV, plays computer games, watches star wars, etc. Not that much has changed. Sure they have smartphones and social media, but the difference are details.

The biggest impact of computers is already passed us, and happened probably between 1970 and 2000
If you look at Japan and Korea who took the same approach of "cheap specialized labour", they both pivoted to high quality, and more innovative once they caught up. I have no doubt China will do the same, but at much larger scale. There's already a lot of innovative consumer products coming online, which I'd attribute to the vibe of rapid and efficient hardware products iteration in Shenzen.
While the numbers don't lie, your response is in another domain. Are these 38k deaths (which is USA only) caused by manufacturer error, preferably the same model? If not, you're polluting any meaningful discussion.
Snarky TLDR: half the JS load time was ad scripts. IMO Most of the performance increase was around specifying image heights, using facades for third party embeds, and optimizing around ad and analytics scripts.

I think you are conflating causes here. A faulty aircraft where design issues led to a rare incident is something completely different than the quite common traffic deaths mostly originating from asverse conditions an reckless driving of a traffic participant.

Traffic accidents are not mainly caused by a certain car model being sold with faulty breaks, and airplane crashes are incredibly rare occurances.
Facebook has had 6 years already to integrate payments or businesses into Whatsapp, and they haven't. They haven't even added the ability to message someone without first entering them in your contacts.

They're not going to make it into a WeChat equivalent anytime soon.
I'd say a more fair phrasing would be "how many of the die from reasons out of their control"? At first I thought this would even out the car and plane fatalities, but actually you can greatly reduce your risk in plane fatalities by avoiding 737 Max while you cannot know who is going to drive into your lane

> Autocracies are only short-term efficient. Once their initial aims are met, they become terribly inefficient, then corruption sets in, and then they must be forcibly removed.

From the point of view of Western individualism, yes. However, a strong autocracy relies on building a strong collective identity through education and the cultural institutions. That identity isolates the individual from his personal beliefs and justifies his suffering, for the purpose of collectively achieving "macro" goals.

A major mistake is to judge non-Western socio-economic systems through the lens of the Western intellectual tradition.
Can you substantiate this statement ?
I also expect Ryanair got a hefty discount on increasing their orders for the max
Normally it is the middle class don't have more children. They are not poor, then kids are more expensive when you can afford things for kids, you want to invest in them, and they are not rich enough to not worry about cost. Kids in poor family will cost only food, and minimal maintenance :)

Michael O'Leary will say anything to drum up press. Those comments were never plans - just free advertising.

> Safety is not a priority for them beyond meeting the absolute minimum requirements necessary to fly.

This is absolute nonsense. Safety is paramount at Ryanair - their reputation in industry is that they have the strictest standards of any airline operating in Europe, low-cost or not.

This is simply your own bias showing through.

It's also ridiculous to state that a crash wouldn't impact their business.
The "iphone" of the electric car still isn't here.

I've been saying it's coming soon for a while, cars that are so vastly superior to gas cars that it re-frames the gas car as being legacy technology just as the smartphone from apple finally got the consumer interested in smartphones and view flip-phones as inferior.

I think however, it's going to come from left-field (not from Tesla) and for the first time I'm tossing a date on it, 24-36 months:

The key is the bizarre three-wheeled electric cars from micro-manufacturers like aptera, ampere, nobe, elio, arcimoto, electra meccanica, malcolm bricklin, sondors, and vanderhall.

They are offering low priced commuter vehicles with really low drag coefficients, easy parking, and when combined with solar panels embedded in the body (which I know of 3 manufacturers that are releasing cars this year that will do this) you'll get effectively a "worry free" vehicle; it charges more than you usually drive it, needs very little maintenance and repair, and is easy to maneuver.

I think Geoffrey Moore's diagram on this one is starting this year and if the next gen of these funky cars are as "practical" as I think them to be, I think the chasm will be jumped around 2023/2024.

Right, this sounds unrealistic now. Obviously cars like this https://www.aptera.us/product-page/250-miles-per-charge aren't going to see mainstream pickup right this second.

But this is like if we were in 2003, and I used the bulky, nerdy clunky HP iPAQ 4150 (https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51BH3PKCZ7L...) and argued that these computer-phones would eventually be a mainstream device and be a complete replacement of desktops and laptops for many people. Obviously unrealistic then. You have to iterate in your head.

For instance, take the solar e-trike, make a modular design like how ebussy has (http://ebussy.de/), inductive charging like what bmw and witricity are working on or what's been deployed in sweden (https://www.smartroadgotland.com/) you know, the next steps that everything gets crossing the chasm, you have to do the act of mentally imagining putting these things together, I can see this future coming together.

Also you add the cost trajectories of batteries and solar on to it, and you'll realize this is like anything else in the innovators dilemma: the capacity is moving up, the price is moving down, steadily, year on year and you're maybe looking at say, a honda-civic level rated e-trike car at say $4,000 in 2030 that can get modular addons and be inductively recharged while driving.

I know this sounds as wacky as bill gates home of the future from the 1990s where he talked to a special "assistant computer" in his living room to do things like order a cab or the carputer project MS ran to have an in-dash navigation system with location and map info in the early 90s ... it all looks crazy until it happens.
Not the same thing: you're a person they know, so it's privacy. Facebook, Google, 3 letter agencies do that invisibly.
I suspect these effects might also be very regional.

Some anecdotal evidence from my end is that with the change of terms nontechnical friends are much more open to use other messengers if I say I don't want to use WhatsApp. Previously I was sort of regarded as the guys who was making a fuzz out of nothing, now people just say OK let's try. I suspect this is because it made it to mainstream media, so there is more general awareness.

It seems also that the people moving now are more the nontechnical audience. For example my partner who is completely nontechnical and using what others are using, just told me last week that suddenly all her acquaintances are popping up on signal.
At that point it will be just another smart investment and not a “shiny toy”.
> Given the scrutiny on this plane, do you think Boeing would be able to survive as an organisation if another one crashes? I'm surprised they're willing to risk it.

Did you think that after the first one crashed?

If a third one crashes, will your logic become even stronger in the aftermath of that?
It is not just a numbers game. The suits in the offices of Boeing and FAA wantonly misled and hid data that undermined the safety of a plane which was clearly a bad idea to begin with. If a similar incident is uncovered in the auto industry they should also be held accountable to the same extent. Automakers are constantly forced to recall their cars for faults which are not even deliberate so it looks like that system is at least somewhat working. We cannot excuse Boeing with such whataboutism especially safety is at stake.

Flying on an absolute sense is an insane activity. As Louis CK put it, you're "sitting on a chair, IN THE SKY!" The only reason we take it for granted is the Stellar safety record (which is even better than cars?). If all you do is just match the safety profile of ground transportation, the optics of the combination of perception and real events would just grind this industry down. In some ways it's actually bad for the industry in the long term but these suits and their next quarter bonuses don't care about that! Only the public can.
Yeah I work at a games studio, we are fully remote at the moment due to covid, and disconnecting/reconnecting RDP usually crashes whatever is running on the machine at the time, due to "GPU removed" error.

Depends. If population is falling everywhere, you can't have things like free healthcare or pensions, barring some medical miracle like eternal youth.

Even if you allow immigration, you're only draining something else of its population, and that's not sustainable.

> working shortages will increase the demand for automation and result in worker dignity.

That depends on power distribution. If Amazon automated its processing center, do you think that workers would benefit or just Amazon? Plus what jobs would the newly laid off be given?

But giving workers power isn't a solution either. Give them option to choose, and their jobs would never be automated. It's not in their interest to be made expendable. Not to mention the their ego would be bruised if they knew they could be made expendable.

I still feel mental friction when contemplating anything to do with "regression" because the word doesn't seem to capture what the technique(s) (e.g. linear, logistic) actually do.

I have looked into the historical context and reason for the use of the word (the technique was first popularized in something which "regressed to the mean"), as well as its development, and it still bugs me any time.
They've got you covered. They're going to rename it.

Hi @legulere!

Yep, the example of Figure 2 shows only a static PGM-index on a sorted array.

Insertion and deletions are discussed in Section 3 "Dynamic PGM-index" and experimented in Section 7.3.

The Dynamic PGM-index is open-source too: you can find the implementation at https://github.com/gvinciguerra/PGM-index/blob/master/includ... and the documentation at https://pgm.di.unipi.it/docs/cpp-reference/#classpgm_1_1_dyn...

The church building made of stone or wood is made by man, and the priest too is just a man.

The character/person Christ is described as “logos” made flesh. That means the ideal man embodies in this world the ideas of universal ethics and as you say love for their fellow brother and sisters the children of creation.

I like you interpret it as a personal philosophical/spiritual thing, and the church being a physical place to remind yourself of and celebrate this. Thank you for your insightful comment :)
I can tell quite a few people here didn’t read the article. The study was comically insufficient to support the headline.
That's funny, i thought about making just that, but there area already a bunch of sites ( planeapotters, flightradar, etc.) which contain the data, so a dedicated website would add little value. I might still make it, especially if more airlines decide to "rename" it ( e.g. Ryanair with their 737-9200).
No offense, but your brother being a pilot with them seems irrelevant on whether they are 'pretty good with safety' or not.

Working there is a pretty big bias
What really shocked me when speaking to my american colleagues is that you guys have no equivalent of an "MOT". In the UK, for a car to be road legal it needs to hava passed some safety checks. From what I understood, that doesn't exist over there?

Anyone can go, buy a $100 car from some guy on craigslist and drive it around. I'd wager that makes a big difference to road fatalities.

That and the drunk driving. I guess it depends on the place, but in Austin it was awful. I was out drinking with some guys from work, we had maybe 6 beers? Then they all walked back to the office, got their cars and drove home. It made me much more paranoid about crossing the road.
Ok, now that I've checked, I'm the one who broke the guidelines by commenting on downvoting. Sorry!
Bandwidth wise it’s possible but the M1 doesn’t support it. It only supports a single display “scan out” on thunderbolt. Plus a second that must be via HDMI.

The issue as I understand it is the lack of ability for 2 “scan out engines” to run and output at the same time.

Given the MacBook Air/Pro support only 1 external display I imagine the HDMI port connects to the hardware that would otherwise connect to the internal LCD. Hence why the mini can do 2 but the MacBooks only 1.

I hope this limitation to be lifted in the next generation. It’s the only reason I haven’t purchased one. I want 3 external monitors on a MacBook Pro.
Not only that but smaller cores are less radiation resistant. Meaning more likely to get interference from natural radiation sources. So less reliable.
Long before this recent flurry around Whatsapp (and Facebook in general) I duplicated one of my primary Whatsapp groups on Signal after getting most there to at least created an account.

Slowly, by only replying in that group and sending my messages there, I was able to move more of them over and finally the other group died which lead to the last individuals to come over to Signal.

It takes time, but can be done.

Yes, I completely agree what Tether is doing is criminal and that they will likely be responsible for the next crash.

The question is: so what? The important thing about crypto is its anti-fragility. Every crash brought a correction that made the system more robust and less prone to be extinct.

It's not going to be crypto's first crash and it is certainly not going to be the last.

Getting the airline industry going again will definitely be tough.

I think that having the 737 MAX on the fleets will really make very little difference to the majority of customers, who book holidays based on destination and price.
Many will be concerned about the MAX incidents and Boeing sharp practices, but not enough to hurt the airlines running them
non-paywall: https://briskreader.com/link/3lhywBZuIgU
it will work easily: nations that do it first, will be so rapidly outcompeting others, in a few years everyone will see there is no choice.
It looks like they still have the element of greed in their ranks that lead to this fiasco. At this point I feel that everyone involved in this project from top to bottom should be sacked and they should dispose of 737 Max plans and start over with a completely new team.
Does expensive wine taste better?
Don't you know the SV aristocracy are above the law?
We can debate the law, we should, not following a law is also a choice.
But disrupting laws as an ideology is eroding our ability to engage in meaningful social exchanges. The pipe dream that technology can absolve humanity from unavoidable need for trust and faith is perhaps improving our material situation in the short term. But human psychology is not easily augmented by technology. Deep down, to face the uncertainties and the inevitable lack of full knowledge of reality, we strive for the safety of faith and trust.

Trying to eliminate it will push a massive amount of humans to reactionary action.

And when humans can't get safety out of trust, they get it using force and control.

The art is to balance these, not to imagine you can eliminate it.

BTW: I'm far from being religious. My idea of faith is more abstract than the religious one.

>Because no other plane in operation has ever received the amount of scrutiny the Max

From this article(reality might be different) it seems to me that only MCAS related stuff was investigated and issues like the ones reported were dismissed that are not related so we should assume that other investigations were already done for those issues and nothing major was found.
> Investigators believe both accidents were triggered by the failure of a single sensor.

It is kind of like saying that a person was raped because of wearing revealing clothes. So disgusting.
